Since commit f1a7941243c1 ("mm: convert mm's rss stats into
percpu_counter"), the rss_stats have converted into percpu_counter,
which convert the error margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately
(nr_cpus ^ 2). However, the new percpu allocation in mm_init() causes a
performance regression on fork/exec/shell. Even after commit 14ef95be6f55
("kernel/fork: group allocation/free of per-cpu counters for mm struct"),
the performance of fork/exec/shell is still poor compared to
previous kernel versions.

To mitigate performance regression, we use lazy_percpu_counter to delay
the allocation of percpu memory for rss_stats. After lmbench test, we
will get 3% ~ 6% performance improvement for lmbench fork_proc/exec_proc/
shell_proc after conversion. The test results are as follows:

             base           base+revert        base+lazy_percpu_counter

fork_proc    427.4ms        394.1ms  (7.8%)    413.9ms  (3.2%)
exec_proc    2205.1ms       2042.2ms (7.4%)    2072.0ms (6.0%)
shell_proc   3180.9ms       2963.7ms (6.8%)    3010.7ms (5.4%)
